All these bore congratulations on the jubilee.
The Queen still had strength left for dinner
marty in the evening, which included the Duke ana
Duchess of Manchester, tho Earl and Cnnntess of
Rosebery, and the Swedish Minister, all Of whom
stayed at the Castle for the night
The Prince of Wales expected this after
noon at the American Exhibition but gave priority
TO the wedding of the eldest son OF Lord SALISBURY,
Niscount Cranbone, and Lady Alice Gore, second
dauchter of the Earl Of Arran, which took place
at St Margarets, Westminster. The Princess OF
Wales. Prince and Princess Christian, the German
and Russian Ambassadors and great numbers of
PERSONS Of li-ht and leading in the fashionable
world were present. A breakfast followed at Earl
Uowper's The American Exhibition had to CON
tent itself with Prince and Princess Henry of Bat
,enberg who visited Buffalo Bills show.
Mr. Irving last night continued his series OF re-
yivals by the production of The Merchant OF
Venice" Most of the usual frst-night visitors had
gone TO see Mrs. Bernard Beere at the Opera Com
ique The Lyceum filed. but filled with
strangers The audience, however. included the
American Minister and Mrs Phelps, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ioon,is Mr and Mrs. Van Wart and other we'll
known Americans. Never were Mr.. Irving and Miss
Ellen Terry so friQdy received. Never have they
earned a warmer welcome. Both. 1t is trde, played
unevenly Influenced perhaps bv the singular
condition of the house. and Miss Terry seemed
hardly well Yet when allowance has been made
for everything it remains TO be said
that no modern audience in London has

what it was in conception but, like other charac-
ters he has recently given, il has gained wonder
fully in effectiveness. Some of the old faults both
in eocuion and manner were visible, in the scene
after Jessca's fight and at times elsewhere. But
the Trial masterpiece throughout
played with dignity, authority and brIlIiancy

Miss Ellen Terry's Portia a worthy counter
part; sparkling original and full of charm.
Mrs. James Brown Potter has once more changed
her plan Of campaign. She had resolved perhaps
wisely, not to accept another engagement In Lon
don till after her visit to America.
Late Saturday night, however, she closed with Mr..
George Edwardes proposal Tor a season at the
Gaiety Theatre, beginning june Is and extending
probably into September. An English version Of
"Mademoiselle lie Bressier will then be produced.
This play was withdrawn after few weeks run
from the Ambigu stage, Paris, where Communistic
complications lessened the popularity OF piece
whchwas intrinsicay of great dramatic interest.
PlaygoIng Parisisns could not accept the idea Oh
intimate social relations between families whose
heads had fought sixteen years ago, one for the
Commune the other for the Versailles Govern
ment. "Madamoiselle de Bressier" made. never
theless, q deep impression. Mrs. Potter saw
it, bought it, as announced some weeks since. and
intended to reserve it for America, but Mr.. Ed
wardes's offer finally proved too tempting. Other
good English proposals had been previously de-
clined. strong company is being got together
Mr.. Edwardes lacks neither enterprise nor money.
Mrs Potter certainly does not lack courage. She
has TO face body Of critics many Of whom have
committed themselves to the opinion that she re-
